Northern Frontiers Counselling offers a Do-It-Yourself Relationship Survey (often referred to as relationship or marriage quiz) that enables you to review your relationship and identify areas that may need improvement. The survey offers guidance on how to discuss areas of concern with your partner – as well as referrals to websites that may further enhance your communication skills and understanding of relationship issues.
Put simply, as human beings we are all emotional creatures. We experience a range of emotions no other animal in the Animal Kingdom does. Unlike other animals that are driven primarily by instinct, we are driven to a significant extent by emotions.
Emotions are intertwined with our values and beliefs and, as such, they have the power to influence how we think, feel and act – all of which plays a role in what we need to feel content in our intimate relationship.
Our survey creator, Melinda Bailey, boasts 30+ years’ counselling experience and has developed this relationship survey based on 10 core needs and is designed to help you drill down into areas of your relationship that may need attention. The quizzes are ideal for those of you who have tried unsuccessfully to engage your other half in the more traditional face-to-face relationship or marriage counselling scenario. Or perhaps you would simply prefer to review things from the comfort of your own home. Whatever your motivation, a vital part of any change process is taking the first step.
